[decompose] extract helpers from js/ui/components/VideoModal.js

Decomposed js/ui/components/VideoModal.js by extracting "Similar Video" and "Pointer Key" logic into a new helper module js/ui/components/VideoModalSimilarHelpers.js. - Reduced VideoModal.js line count from 6334 to 6045. - Added comprehensive unit tests for extracted helpers. - Updated check-file-size.mjs baseline.

+## Target File
+`js/ui/components/VideoModal.js` (approx 6334 lines).
+
+## Rationale
+This is the second largest file in the codebase. The largest (`profileModalController.js`) was recently refactored with a facade pattern. `VideoModal.js` was touched recently but likely only for minor updates or formatting, and contains distinct blocks of logic suitable for extraction.
+
+## Plan
+Extract "Similar Video" related logic into a helper module.

+# Decisions Log - Decompose Agent
+
+## Changes
+Extracted "Similar Video" and pointer derivation logic from \`js/ui/components/VideoModal.js\` into a new module \`js/ui/components/VideoModalSimilarHelpers.js\`.
+
+## Rationale
+- \`js/ui/components/VideoModal.js\` was the second largest file (6334 lines).
+- Similar Video logic formed cohesive blocks with clear dependencies.
+- Pointer derivation was a helper function reused internally.
+
+## Implementation Details
+- Created \`js/ui/components/VideoModalSimilarHelpers.js\` containing:
+  - \`derivePointerKeyFromInput\`
+  - \`buildSimilarCardIdentity\`
+  - \`prepareSimilarVideoCard\`
+  - \`attachSimilarCardViewCounter\`
+  - \`getViewCountLabel\`
+  - \`formatViewCountLabel\`
+- Updated \`js/ui/components/VideoModal.js\` to import these functions and pass dependencies (\`this.helpers\`, \`this.DEFAULT_PROFILE_AVATAR\`, \`this.dispatch\`, \`this.log\`).
+- Updated \`scripts/check-file-size.mjs\` baseline for \`VideoModal.js\` to 6045 lines.
+
+## Next Steps
+- Further decomposition of \`VideoModal.js\` (e.g. More Menu logic) in future runs.

+**Status**: Completed
+**Agent**: decompose-agent
+**Date**: 2026-02-14
+
+## Summary
+Decomposed `js/ui/components/VideoModal.js` by extracting "Similar Video" and "Pointer Key" logic into a new helper module `js/ui/components/VideoModalModalSimilarHelpers.js`.
+
+## Outcome
+- Reduced `js/ui/components/VideoModal.js` line count from 6334 to 6045 lines (-289 lines).
+- Created `tests/ui/components/VideoModalSimilarHelpers.test.mjs` with comprehensive unit tests for the extracted logic.
+- Updated baseline in `scripts/check-file-size.mjs`.
+
+## Verification
+- `npm run lint`: Passed.
+- `npm run test:unit`: Passed (including new tests).
+- `scripts/check-file-size.mjs --report`: Verified reduction.

+# Decompose Agent Todo
+
+## Extraction: Similar Video Helpers
+Target file: `js/ui/components/VideoModalSimilarHelpers.js`
+
+### Functions to Extract
+1. `buildSimilarCardIdentity(video, overrides, { helpers, defaultAvatar })`
+   - Originally `buildSimilarCardIdentity`
+   - Depends on `this.helpers` and `this.DEFAULT_PROFILE_AVATAR`.
+   - Action: Refactor to accept these as arguments.
+
+2. `derivePointerKeyFromInput(pointer)`
+   - Used by similar video logic (and others?).
+   - Seems pure (no `this` dependency except maybe internal calls?).
+   - Checked code: `derivePointerKeyFromInput` calls `this.derivePointerKeyFromInput` recursively. It is pure.
+
+3. `prepareSimilarVideoCard(card, meta, index, { dispatchCallback })`
+   - Originally `prepareSimilarVideoCard`.
+   - Uses `this.dispatch`.
+   - Action: Pass a dispatch callback.
+
+4. `attachSimilarCardViewCounter(card, pointerInfo, { subscribeToVideoViewCount, formatViewCount, logger })`
+   - Originally `attachSimilarCardViewCounter`.
+   - Uses `subscribeToVideoViewCount` (global import?), `this.getViewCountLabel`, `this.formatViewCountLabel`, `this.log`.
+   - Action: Extract view count formatting logic too, or pass dependencies.
+
+## Goal
+Reduce `VideoModal.js` size by extracting these substantial methods.
